Carol Palacios

About Me:

I have been a Tallahassee resident for the last 7 years. I moved here from South Florida to attend college at Florida State University where I attained a marketing degree in 2004. Prior to my collegiate studies, I gained real life real estate and marketing experience through my family and their work. My nuclear family is composed of all types of real estate professionals.... real estate brokers, real estate salespeople, mortgage brokers, appraisers & real estate paralegals. Thanks to their expertise and my attained experience combined, I have become a superior problem solver and negotiator.

I am currently reaching my 2nd full year in the business and have already attained recognition from the Tallahassee Board of Realtors as a 2006 Top Producer achieving Silver Rank for accumulating over $3 Million in sales volume. I feel very honored with such recognition and feel very confident with my knowledge of the market and the quality of service that I provide my clients.

Currently, I specialize in Residential Real Estate in Tallahassee and its surrounding cities such as Havana, Crawfordville, Midway, Quincy and Monticello in prices ranging up to $700,000. However, thanks to Century 21's worldwide real estate connections I am able to work closely with referred agents around the world to ensure that you receive the same quality of service you would from me, or even better.

My Expertise

When it comes to working with buyers I specialize in the First Time Homebuyer market. I appreciate being part of such an amazing first experience for my client. I work closely with the Buyer in locating a lender that offers the loan programs that best suits my client's needs along with government programs that offer down payment assistance to those who qualify such as the Tallahassee Lender's Consortium (TLC) and the Florida Housing Bond. I work endlessly with my client in order to fulfill all of their homeownership goals in a way that produces a smooth transaction with the least amount of stress to my client.

Along with First Time Homebuyers, I specialize in working with Relocation Clientele. With Tallahassee being the capital city of Florida, numerous amounts of people get transferred by their company to Tallahassee everyday. At Century 21 we have a program to help those buyers in such a pressing situation. I am blessed with the opportunity to be part of the group of Realtors that help those relocating to our wonderful city and are able to successfully facilitate the transaction in such a rushed situation. In a nutshell, my goal is always to make sure that my client fulfills their real estate goal.

When it comes to working with sellers, I specialize in properties ranging in price between $125,000 - $700,000. I am aggressive in marketing the property to our local market as well as all around the world via our intense internet marketing strategy. I consider myself an active agent vs. a passive one..... I market the property not only on the web through our numerous high traffic websites, but also by the most powerful mode of advertising - Word of Mouth..... I network with past clients and other sellers and realtors until I find the buyer willing to purchase the property vs. just waiting around until one miraculously appears. We are currently in a tough market where we are oversaturated with inventory and there just aren't enough buyers. In order to achieve the results that my clients expect from me and my company, I have taken my marketing strategy one step forward and are reaching as many people as possible to make sure that I get the most people in the door to see the property.

Since I am working so hard to get people in the door to tour the property, part of my services is to help the seller prepare the home for showings. I provide my clients with a list of suggestions that if executed will guarantee a better showing and raise the likelihood/ opportunity for an offer in the quickest amount of time possible.

Additionally, when working with sellers, I prepare a market analysis that indicates a current value range for the property. My honesty in this process is what separates me from the competition. Surprisingly, some realtors will list your home at whichever price the seller wants regardless of what the research of the market indicates. They do this only to "win" the listing and count on later reducing the price after it knowingly doesn't sell. This method is a disservice to the seller as it wastes their time, it ruins their expectations and creates an unnecessary amount of stress to the parties involved.

As a seller, you are hiring a real estate professional to help you, not to hinder the process. Ultimately, our job is to educate you of the market conditions and how these may influence the sale of your home along with the game plan necessary to get your home sold. You the seller need to realize who is truly willing to help you achieve your real estate goal vs. who just wants to add your property for sale to their inventory. Make The Smart Choice!
